I'm surprised you are having performance issues. I have a similar machine (although my 7800 upgrade is on order ) and have absolutely NO problems running at 1920x1200 with all details high and even AA on. I do understand there is a...

Well, I gave Mark at Dell a call and sure enough, my GO7800 Ultra will be on its way soon. Kudos to Mark - he was very personable and knew exactly what I was looking for.

With 2GB (and a 2.13 GHz CPU) I'm running at 1920x1200, 0AA, 4AF, all settings except Dynamic Lighting at HIGH (with lighting at HIGH the interiors were too dark) and I'm getting a solid 30-50 FPS. At this rez I don't miss the...

It basically snaps into the front and locks into the back of the machine. I just pried it out and up from the front edges. It is pretty flexible so I wouldn't be too concerned with using a bit of force. The one thing I didn't like...

Most of us are seeing a 3dMark05 increase of around 200 just by switching drivers. In practical terms, that's another couple FPS in Half-Life 2 ....

Over 6000! RamIt, that is just sick .... And here I was going to upgrade my status to the 5300 club
